Jordan's Gait Stables
Providing FREE Horseback Riding and Animal Therapy for People with Challenges of all ages
515 Dry Ridge Road, Eastview, Kentucky 42732
Our program is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization open to all ages. At our center each new rider starts with private individual classes so that we may build on their physical and mental abilities along with extending their attention span. Once both of these task are completed and they no longer need sidewalkers we will buddy them up with another rider so that they may interact with each other while riding. The two riders can then start encouraging each other and play games together making their class more recreational than before. For more information click on
